Accordingly, the Seller shall treat the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Royalty as a sale of an “account” or a “payment intangible” (as appropriate) in accordance with the UCC, and the Seller hereby authorizes the Buyer to file financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) naming the Seller as the seller and the Buyer as the buyer in respect of the Royalty. Not in derogation of the foregoing statement of the intent of the parties hereto in this regard, and for the purposes of providing additional assurance to the Buyer in the event that, despite the intent of the parties hereto, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance contemplated hereby is hereafter held not to be a sale, the Seller does hereby grant to the Buyer a security interest in and to all right, title and interest of the Seller, in, to and under the Royalty and any “proceeds” (as such term is defined in the UCC) thereof as security for all of the Seller’s obligations hereunder, including the payment of the Royalty, and the Seller does hereby authorize the Buyer, from and after the Closing, to file such financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) in such manner and such jurisdictions as are necessary or appropriate to perfect such security interest.

(b)The Seller shall, only as Mutually Agreed, and to the extent permitted under the terms of Section 9.4(b) of the License Agreement (i) pursue an enforcement action in accordance with Section 9.4(b) of the License Agreement, and (ii) as to the timing, manner and conduct of any enforcement action. The Seller shall, if requested in writing by the Buyer, promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request, provide to the Buyer all reasonably requested documentation and information relating to any such enforcement action brought by the Seller. The Seller shall, only as Mutually Agreed, take any action in any infringement action under Section 9.4(b) of the License Agreement that the Seller has joined. In the event Licensee brings or controls an enforcement action in accordance with Section 9.4(b) of the License Agreement, the Seller shall: (x) provide copies or summaries of any status and progress reports and drafts of all material papers to be filed with the court to the extent provided by Licensee to the Seller pursuant to Section 9.4(b) of the License Agreement, and (y) otherwise act or refrain from acting as Mutually Agreed regarding such enforcement action and
22

to the extent of the Seller’s permitted participation under the terms of Section 9.4(b) of the License Agreement. To the extent Licensee enforces any of the Licensed Patents in accordance with Section 9.4(b) of the License Agreement together with any Amgen Product Patents owned or controlled by Licensee, the Seller agrees to, only as Mutually Agreed, negotiate in good faith with Licensee and agree on a reasonable allocation of Proceeds as between the Licensed Patents and any Amgen Product Patents that were subject to such enforcement action.

The Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Seller’s counsel) incurred by the Seller in connection with the Seller’s actions pursuant to this Section 5.14(b) using counsel of the Seller’s choice that is reasonably acceptable to the Buyer provided, however, that, if the Seller’s actions under this Section 5.14(b) were taken at the direction of the Buyer over the good faith objection of the Seller, then, to the extent the Seller is not entitled to reimbursement by Licensee for such actions, the Buyer shall promptly on demand reimburse the Seller for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with such Seller actions pursuant to this Section 5.14(b).
(c)The Seller shall, only as Mutually Agreed, (i) take any and all actions, and prepare, execute, deliver and file any and all agreements, documents and instruments, that are reasonably necessary or desirable to diligently prosecute, preserve and maintain any Licensed Patents for which it controls the prosecution and maintenance and to seek to extend the term of a patent or exclusivity period for a Licensed Product (including any patent term extension(s) or supplementary protection certificate(s) with respect to any such patent, regulatory exclusivity periods with respect to a Licensed Product, or the like), in each case in accordance with Sections 9.3 and 9.8 of the License Agreement, including payment of maintenance fees or annuities on any such Licensed Patents, (ii) prosecute any corrections, substitutions, reissues, reviews and reexaminations, and any other forms of patent term restoration in any applicable jurisdiction of any Licensed Patents for which it controls the prosecution and maintenance in accordance with Sections 9.3 and 9.8 of the License Agreement, (iii) defend any Licensed Patents for which it controls the defense in accordance with Section 9.7 of the License Agreement, including by bringing any legal action for infringement or defending any counterclaim of invalidity or unenforceability or action of a third party for declaratory judgment of non-infringement or non-interference raised as a defense in any such legal action for infringement, in accordance with Section 5.14(b) of this Agreement, provided, however, that, if the Seller’s actions under this clause (iii) were taken at the direction of the Buyer over the good faith objection of the Seller, then, to the extent the Seller is not entitled to reimbursement by Licensee for such actions, the Buyer shall promptly on demand reimburse the Seller for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with such Seller’s actions pursuant to this clause (iii), and (iv) not disclaim or abandon, or fail to take any action necessary or desirable to prevent the disclaimer or abandonment (including through lack of enforcement against third party infringers), of any Licensed Patents for which it controls the prosecution and maintenance in accordance with Sections 9.3 and 9.8 of the License Agreement, provided, however, that if Seller desires to disclaim or abandon any Licensed Patent for which it controls the prosecution and maintenance in accordance with Sections 9.3 and 9.8 of the License Agreement, and Licensee fails to exercise its rights under Sections 9.3 and 9.8 of the License Agreement with respect to any such Licensed Patent, then the Seller shall notify the Buyer at least sixty (60) days prior to such disclaiming or abandonment, and, at Buyer’s request, shall promptly assign all such Licensed Patents to Buyer. Except to the extent that the proviso to clause (iii) or (iv) above applies, the Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Seller’s counsel) incurred by the Seller in connection with the Seller’s actions pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence using counsel of the Seller’s choice that is reasonably
23

acceptable to the Buyer . The Buyer hereby acknowledges that Xxxxxxxx LLP for purposes of clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of this Section 5.14(c) is acceptable.
(d)Upon Buyer’s request (not to exceed more than one request per calendar year), the Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Licensee, and deliver to the Buyer, a complete and accurate docket report for all Licensed Patents; provided, that if the Seller is unable to obtain such a docket report from Licensee in any given year, the Seller shall deliver a complete and accurate, to the Seller’s knowledge, docket report for all Licensed Patents.
Section 1.15Further Assurances. After the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 1.16Tax Matters.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller and the Buyer shall treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale of the Royalty for United States federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes. Accordingly, any and all Royalty payments made pursuant to the License Agreement after the Closing Date shall be treated as sold to the Buyer for United States federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes. The parties shall cooperate to effect the foregoing treatment for United States federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes in the event that, notwithstanding the Licensee Instruction Letter, Licensee, any Sublicensee (as defined in the License Agreement) or any other Person makes any future remittance of Royalty payments to the Seller which the Seller must remit to the Buyer pursuant to Section 5.2(a) of this Agreement.
(b)To the extent any amount of the Royalty is withheld at source from a payment made pursuant to the License Agreement, as applicable, such withheld amount shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as paid to the Buyer. Any amounts withheld described in this Section 5.16(b) attributable to the Buyer shall be credited for the account of the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 5.3), the Seller shall have no obligation to gross-up or otherwise pay the Buyer any amounts with respect to source withholding. All amounts withheld as described herein shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have been received by the Buyer.
(c)The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.16 on any Tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other party hereto has consented in writing to such actions or (ii) the party hereto that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized tax counsel in writing that there is no “reasonable basis” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662-3(b)(3)) for the position specified in this Section 5.16. If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Entity of the Seller or the Buyer related to this Section 5.16, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner consistent with this Section 5.16.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1.1General Indemnity. Subject to Section 7.3, from and after the Closing:
(a)the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates and its and their directors, managers, trustees, officers, agents and employees (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties (in each case, when made) of the Seller in this Agreement or (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Seller in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Buyer Indemnified Party (A) that has the effect of imposing on the Seller any liability to make payments of or in lieu of the Royalty because of any Credit Event, (B) that results from the failure of Licensee to perform any of its obligations under the License Agreement, unless directly resulting from the breach or default by the Seller of or under the License Agreement, (C) that results from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud of any Buyer Indemnified Party, (D) for any matter in respect of which any Seller Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(b), or (E) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of the Seller that are in accordance with specific written instructions from the Buyer; and
(b)the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, agents and employees (“Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties (in each case, when made) of the Buyer in this Agreement or (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Buyer in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall exclude any indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Party (A) that results from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud of any Seller Indemnified Party, (B) for any matter in respect of which any Buyer Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a), or (C) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of the Buyer that are in accordance with specific written instructions from the Seller.
Section 1.2Notice of Claims. If either a Buyer Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or a Seller Indemnified Party, on the other hand (the Buyer on behalf of such Buyer Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller on behalf of such Seller Indemnified Party on the other hand being hereinafter referred to as an ”Indemnified Party”), has suffered or incurred any Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article 7, the Indemnified Party
25

shall so notify the other party hereto from whom indemnification is sought under this Article 7 (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing describing such Loss, the amount or estimated amount thereof, if known or reasonably capable of estimation, and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred. If any claim, action, suit or proceeding is asserted or instituted by or against a third party with respect to which an Indemnified Party intends to claim any Loss under this Article 7, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and tender to the Indemnifying Party the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 7, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.
Section 1.3Limitations on Liability. Except for a party hereto’s breach of its confidentiality obligations under Article 6, no party hereto shall be liable for any indirect, consequential (including lost profits), punitive, special or incidental damages as a result of any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of such party (including under this Article 7) in or pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall be entitled to make indemnification claims, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article 7, for Losses that include any portion of the Royalty that the Buyer was entitled to receive but did not receive timely or at all due to any indemnifiable events under this Agreement, and such portion of the Royalty shall not be deemed indirect, consequential, punitive, special or incidental damages for any purpose of this Agreement. Other than with respect to any fraud, willful misconduct, or intentional misrepresentation, (a) in no event shall the Seller’s aggregate liability for Losses under Section 7.1(a)(i) or the Buyer’s aggregate liability for Losses under Section 7.1(b)(i) exceed the Purchase Price less fifty percent (50%) of the Royalty payments actually received by the Buyer following the fourth anniversary of the date of the First Commercial Sale (as defined in the License Agreement) of Olpasiran in the United States, and (b) the Seller shall not have any liability for Losses under Section 7.1(a)(i) and the Buyer shall not have any liability for Losses under Section 7.1(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the indemnified party equals or exceeds $500,000, in which event the indemnifying party shall be liable for all Losses including such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer for any Permitted Reduction or Credit Event.
Section 1.4Third Party Claims. Following the receipt of notice provided by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2 of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnified Party by a third party with respect to which such Indemnified Party intends to claim any Loss under this Article 7, an Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense and with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the request of the Indemnifying Party, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in such defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall bear the Indemnified Party’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of such claim as provided in this Section 7.4, the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its expense and may participate in the defense of such claim, and neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any Judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such claim without the prior written consent of the other party hereto unless such Judgment or settlement (A) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief (if any) for the claimant (other than customary and reasonable confidentiality obligations relating to such claim, Judgment or settlement), (B) results in the full and general release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities arising out of, relating to or in connection with such claim and (C) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of
26

any law, rule, regulation or Judgment, or the rights of any Person, and has no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not or ceases to conduct the defense of such claim as so provided, (i) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3 and this Section 7.4, the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any reasonable Judgment or enter into any reasonable settlement with respect to, such claim in any manner it may reasonably deem to be appropriate, (ii) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of defending against such claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses against reasonably detailed invoices, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer as a result of such claim to the full extent provided in this Article 7.
Section 1.5Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 9.10, from and after Closing, the rights of the parties hereto pursuant to (and subject to the conditions of) this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates with respect to any claims (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise) resulting from or relating to any breach of the representations, warranties covenants and agreements made under this Agreement or any certificate, document or instrument delivered hereunder, and each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and agrees not to assert after Closing, any other claim or action in respect of any such breach.
